Check out the homemade flight simulator you can test your 747 pilot skills with!
One day Matthew Sheil’s Boeing 747 is dodging houses on the approach into Hong Kong, the next it’s shaking like a baby’s rattle in a storm over the Atlantic. But Sheil does it all at a cruising altitude of about nine feet without ever leaving a Sydney, Australia, warehouse.
An amateur pilot who runs a trucking company, Sheil has spent eight years building a flight sim

Here’s a cool little project for capturing mouse!
This project captures a mouse by having a solenoid (electromagnet) drop a bucket over the mouse. The bucket is triggered by the mouse interrupting one of the infrared emitter/detector pairs around the bait. The enclosure that holds the electronics is mounted directly over the bait. Ok, so the “bucket” is actually a semi-clear storage container. The clear container allows
Here’s a cool hack on getting the circuit from your ordinary clock and using it as a super accurate 1-second pulsing circuit.
Check out this cool modern style kitchen light you make yourself on a budget! tighT!
This project started with a very common problem: terrible kitchen lighting. Like most people, my kitchen lighting was awful and consisted of just one dome lamp in the middle of the ceiling. The other possible option is the ugly fluorescent recessed lighting that most kitchens seem to have. With my situation the problem was just not having enough light. If you are in the fluorescent situation, you might have ample light, but with a
This is a genuine idea that takes few parts and would be nice for anyone who needs to dry their shirts when the dryer isn’t doing the job. Definitely, I need this since everytime I do laundry, my apartment dryer just doesn’t do the job…

Here’s a nice little RC buggy for future reference on RC mods…
This was probably the most important thing to achieve. The R/C vehicle that I’m using has 2 servos, one to move the position of the front wheels and therefore controls steering and the other controls a mechanical speed controller (push it forwards and you go forwards, backwards and you reverse with an zone in the middle of not moving).
Servos are driven by a PWM signal which allows accurate positioni
Check out this awesome bike plow to plow your snow while exercising!
After years of not having much success riding my road bike in the snow, I discovered the seat could be raised high enough on my daughter’s mountain bike for me to ride comfortably. Although the bike handled well in new snow, compacted, icy snow with hundreds of footprints and a few other bike tracks was a bit treacherous. I soon realized the amount of time it would take me to shov
